Producers Ant Timpson, Tim League, and Magnet Releasing have announced the winner of ABCs of Death 2’s “Search for the 26th Director” – Robert Boocheck’s riotous “M Is For Masticate”, which we’ve embedded below!

The original ABCs of Death, comprised of 26 alphabet-themed ways to die from the biggest names in horror, invited filmmakers from around the world to submit their own T-themed deaths – with one exceptional entry being chosen to appear in the final film. The tradition of selecting the 26th Director proudly continued in the 2014 sequel, this time using the letter “M.”

In addition to winning a $5000 cash prize, Boocheck’s M Is For Masticate will officially become ABCs of Death 2’s “M” segment.

Additionally, the production team has also announced ABCs OF DEATH 1.5: THE 26TH DIRECTOR EDITION, a feature-length anthology showcasing the finest entries in this year’s competition, chosen exclusively by the film’s producers.
